BillsFan4 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) They were comfortable in the $10M per year neighborhood... well, isn’t $11M in the $10M pee year neighborhood? Makes it sound like the Jets are spending judiciously in free agency or something. “Oh, the Bills went $11M. We ere only comfortable at $10.5. Better walk away....” I mean, they gave a friggin ILB $17M per year! ($5M higher than the next closest ILB). They clearly refused to walk away no matter how high the price got. I highly, highly doubt they walked away from Morse over $1M (and if they did, they’re idiots). I’m guessing Morse chose buffalo.

H2o Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Glad it worked out for us. Morse is probably the biggest FA signing we have had in quite some time and fills a HUGE need on the OL. The Jets have made some upgrades anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I wonder if they ever realized Paradis was never signing in NY. Morse was going to be a Bill or a Jet, given his relatively young age, our young QBs, OL needs and $$$. We got him. Beane knew this had to happen.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm sure we offered a better contract, but Morse does seem like the type who would choose Allen / Buffalo over Darnold / NYC. And I'm sure this is just Manish trying to save face for the Jets by suggesting the Bills wildly overpaid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Jets are viewed as a stray away team - how much is the Owner, how much is the GM, how much is the HC = not a desirable destination at all. I'm glad it is not us for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just now, billspro said: I’m glad our FO prioritizes OL over LB and RB. EXACTLY! VERY WELL SAID! The Mosley deal was insane. Bells contract is a lot of money for a RB, especially for one who has had issues with injuries, suspensions, and hasn't played since 2017. Would I have been upset if either of those guys were signed by Beane, no. But I am sure as heck a lot happier we signed the guys we did instead of those players. Bell and Mosley deals will be issues for the Jets unless they suddenly figure out how to draft great. Lets say I am not holding my breath on that one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall a certain thread currently go on around here with a few posters mocking that Morse was no big deal of a signing, no top FA's want to come here, and no one else wanted Morse but us.

Brown and Foster are going to stretch the field vertically, Beasley will get one on one matchups in the slot because there will be a spy on Allen.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Word is that Paradis walked away from the Jets because he was sick of waiting on them, who were waiting on Bell. So they screwed themselves with both Centers in order to sign a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were willing to make CJ Mosley, a good ILB but not among the top tier IMO, the highest paid ILB by nearly $5 million. They clearly weren’t willing to walk away no matter how high the price got. They basically gave him a QB contract ($85 million). But they werent willing to make Mitch Morse the highest paid C by $125,000...., who I’d argue is in a higher tier at his position than Mosley at his (it’s easier to argue Morse is a top tier C, than Mosley a top tier ILB). I am actually very very happy that the Jets didn’t decide to get into a bidding war over Morse though. Good thing the Bills locked him up before Paradis made his decision, otherwise that may have been what happened. Mike Maccagnan seems desperate as hell to try and keep his job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Perception of Jets FO has been shaky at best during all of FA. Between Morse and paradis not being interested, Barr bailing and saying he was sick to his stomach when he found out they offered the most money, Moseley trying like hell to stay in Baltimore until they offered so much above market he couldn’t say no, Bell waiting forever trying to go anywhere else but no one else bidding, Andre Roberts comments about how he was treated...

Give me one of the top 3 TEs and this unit will be difficult to stop. Totally agree...and I honestly think its been an A++ Free Agent period for the Bills. If we dont land an EDGE player before the draft, I think our pick at 9 will be one of the elite EDGE prospects or a weapon for Allen (probably Hockenson given WR is so deep). One real possibility is still a trade down, and I think Beane will aggressively pursue that to pick up an extra 2nd. If he does, I can easily see him doing the following with those 3 picks. 1st - Hockenson - TE 2nd - Simmons - DT 2nd - Best WR on board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not read that the Jets were only willing to give $10M the first year. If you are getting it from that tweet, I guess I interpret it differently than you. Maniah Mehta said in that tweet that “the Jets were comfortable in the $10M per year range”. The Bills paid him $11.125M per year. So, technically $1.125M more per year, but close enough. lol I can see how it can be interpreted it differently though Edited March 15, 2019 by BillsFan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twist_to_open Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 There were several teams with bad OL this year...Az, Minn, Jets, Us....and very few quality linemen out there so the price was gonna be high for teams truly committed to improving their offense, I don't think we paid any more than any 'attractive market' team would've paid, Beane was just quick and decisive.

JerseyBills Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Their current C is worse than Bodine!! Imagine if they got Morse , and we're stuck with Bodine/Groy ?? Huge implications for both franchises , and it's in our favor with this one, big time , C is a crucial position, especially for a young QB . Beane and Co have crushed it. Bell had one of the best OL for basically his whole career , as well as AB and Ben. He's going to have some tough times behind that OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
